Jesus is God and He has always been the Son, but has He always been King from eternity past?

Or did He only become King at the Incarnation?

I honestly don't know which is true, but I wanted y'all's thoughts on it. Scripture references are welcome.

Thanks!

When the children of Israel wanted a king for themselves, it angered our Father but He had His prophet anoint Saul a king for them.

He was angry because, as He said, He is their King.

Since God is what He will be, and Jesus and the Father are One, we know Jesus was born King of all who praise Him in Spirit and truth.

Matt 2:1-2 . . Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews?

"King of the Jews" is relative to David's monarchy.

Luke 1:32 . . The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father

Ahh that makes sense. I've read that passage many times and for some reason it escaped me. ;)

Jesus was declared King before He appeared on this earth ----according to this scripture ----verses 12-17


2 Samuel 7:8-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

8 So now say this to My servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be prince over My people Israel.
9 And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like [that] of the great men of the earth.
10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and be moved no more. And wicked men shall afflict them no more, as formerly
11 And as from the time that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord declares to you that He will make for you a house:

12 And when your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up after you your offspring who shall be born to you, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build a house for My [a]Name [and My Presence], and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men.

15 But My mercy and loving-kindness shall not depart from him, as I took [them] from Saul, whom I took away from before you.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you; your throne shall be established forever.

17 In accordance with all these words and all this vision Nathan spoke to David.
